to a successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job

straight after school. Discuss both views

Upon graduating from high school, the young often wonder whether they

ought to keep on studying further or not. Many people believe that

continuing to study at a university or college will be the best way

MỞ BÀI

BY NGOC BACH

Working straight after graduation is beneficial in some ways. Firstly, by

working, young people will be able to earn money as soon as possible,

and since they will likely be mature enough, they will be able to live

independently on their own income. It is also common knowledge that

having a job leads to even more maturity. Secondly, a person who

chooses to get a job instead of pursuing higher education is likely to

progress rapidly in their career. This may help them to obtain a lot of

real experience and skills in their chosen profession.

On the other hand, there are a variety reasons why people tend to

choose to continue their education after high school. First, a college

education prepares young people to meet higher-level qualifications,

which is what most employers expect these days. University

graduates usually get a much higher salary than those without a

university education. Furthermore, the job market is becoming more

and more competitive and nowadays people are well-advised to get a

degree, as hundreds of applicants often chase the top jobs. Having a

degree is an obvious advantage that university graduates have. In

Vietnam, students who graduate with an engineering degree are

highly paid and have an easy time getting a good job.

KẾT LUẬN:
